AAA: Memorial Day Car Travel to Increase This Year

"Of the 47% who said gasoline prices would impact their plans, 9% will take shorter trips, 4% will use alternate transportation and 34% will cut back spending in other areas, the survey showed." BUT "In April, prices dropped in 23 of 30 days, and fell below year-ago levels for the first time in two-and-a-half years."

So either drivers are reducing consumption to compensate for falling prices, or they are responding to news reports of higher prices rather than the reality of lower prices. Either way, I am sure Obama is to blame somehow.
